<p>I would do cycling interval training in the gym using a Keiser indoor spin cycle and do 8-10 sets of 40-60 secs out of the saddle sprints.</p>
<p>I also would ride with a cycling group and go 40-60 mile rides with my road bike.</p>
<p>I do light weights with dumbbells, and do tricep extensions, squats, and punch the heavy bag for 20-30 minutes.</p>

Hi Suzanna, after a long break, I actually did get back to my fitness training and it feels great. I've lost muscle tone, strength and flexibility over the last few months. It's a good thing I've only been coaching and playing social. Sounds like you have a great camp going on in your neck of the woods. Keep it up.

<p>Dudleyk, maybe you can start too... the imbalances are developing slowly, and once you get problems, then it is much harder to correct. I've been doing tennis fitness training to juniors during their summer camp, age 13-21, and you wouldn't believe how "messed up" they are already at that young age.</p>

Hi Suzanna, thank you for your response to my discussion. You are absolutely correct about cross or fitness training. At my age, I am fortunate not to have had any major injuries and still play tennis pain-free. I hope that others do some additional training to keep fit, prevent injury and improve their tennis.

<p>Cross training (fitness training) is really important for tennis players to prevent future overuse injuries. Tennis creates imbalances in the body that over time create problems. You have to do strength training to re-balance your muscle groups - to make them evenly strong - left vs right side, and often front vs back. Then you have to stretch and do the myfoascial release, to get rid of the trigger points in the overused muscles. This should be bread-and-butter: strength, stretch,…</p>

Then you have to stretch and do the myfoascial release, to get rid of the trigger points in the overused muscles. This should be bread-and-butter: strength, stretch, myofascial... then of course, you can do more to become even better: agility drills, explosive power, endurance... etc. You definitely have to have a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tennisfitnesslove.com/2011/08/strong-lower-body-strong-core-and-big-forehand-play-tennis-like-a-pro/">strong core and lower body</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I play tennis 6 days a week, run with my dog every morning, do the strength training about 2 hours per week, and I stretch after each tennis practice 15-20 minutes. I am 46 years old, and through all this pretty fit. You can see the exercise, and routines on my website... there's a lot of stuff on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tennisfitnesslove.com/fitness/stretching/">injury prevention</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tennisfitnesslove.com/fitness/strength/">fitness for tennis</a> training. No gym is necessary, you can do everything on the court after tennis. Regarding nutrition, also very important to eat healthy so you have a lot of energy... here is a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tennisfitnesslove.com/2010/05/healthy-nutrition-for-optimal-tennis-fitness/">basic nutrition</a> post, and here what to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tennisfitnesslove.com/2011/07/light-and-healthy-nutrition-for-lighter-and-healthier-body/">avoid to eat</a>. </p>

I really don't do anything else.. I ride the bike around when I feel lazy and don't want to drive to play tennis. I'm quite curious what kind of exercises you would do? If I could incorporate them into my daily routine maybe I'll see an improvement in my tennis.
